binding + autoconfig



Hi,

I bonded together two Ethernet interfaces, and if I keep restarting
networking, the bond interface sometimes does, but mostly does not get
its global prefix from the router.  The two physical interfaces and
the bond share a MAC, and accordingly also share their link-local
addresses.  I've got the impression that the bond gets its global
address only if the right interface is activated in the bond first,
but I haven't checked this rigorously yet.  Any thoughts on this?

On the other hand, I could live without autoconfiguration complicating
my life.  How could I disable that?
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/autoconf and accept_ra are already all set
to 0, but a networking restart still gets me link-local addresses...
